Two leading interactive communication agencies announce their merger
Born Interactive and Orange Clicks are now one
On January 1 st, 2005, two leading interactive technology companies operating on the Lebanese market, and in the region as well, have officially merged. Born Interactive and Orange Clicks both have a proven track record in designing Web sites and conceiving e-solutions, and this venture significantly upgraded their production capacity, consolidated their expertise and widened their geographical coverage.
As Fadi Sabbagha, general manager of Born Interactive, says: “the aim of this merger was to enhance growth and expansion for both of us”. While Orange Clicks has developed an important client base in Lebanon and in the Gulf countries, Born Interactive has built over the past 9 years a diversified portfolio of clients comprising prominent names and groups in Lebanon, Qatar, Bahrain, Cyprus, North Africa, France and the USA. This merger enabled the new entity to engage in new markets.
As far as corporate culture is concerned, Orange Clicks and Born Interactive have the same approach to e-business and to New Media in general. “We share the same company culture and vision, we both pay particular attention to details and are driven by the same commitment to quality and customer satisfaction” adds Sabbagha. “Although we keep on recruiting and expanding, we are also ensuring that our clients do not feel the transition. We keep on providing them with the same personalized service by the same people, who are assisted by additional resources to guarantee a constantly improving service.
Thanks to this combined corporate culture, along with the expertise, skills and talent of the staff, the new entity is signing new contracts with prestigious clients whether in the industrial, financial, construction, governmental, corporate or retail sectors.
“I am thrilled by the fact that 4 years of hard work and investments have finally been rewarded by this strategic move. Being part of this growing New Media company is a reward by itself. The enhanced profitability expected by this merger will also definitely be financially rewarding to all its shareholders” says Walid Hanna general manager of Orange Clicks.
Both parties’ shareholders elected Fadi Sabbagha as CEO to lead the newly merged entity. Born Interactive - O.C, is partly owned by the TRINEC Group Holding.
